Got my trifecta in today! I'm super hesitant to install it because last night at the track it didn't want to go into first. I had to sit there and muscle it in or fiddle with it now and then.
Car ran a 14.5 though!

if you never use it you could just put a tire valve stem cap on the. im pretty sure a member here did that and it looked pretty good... but he might have had the 6mm not the 7mm one like 07+ balts
supposedly twincharge isn't very reliable and isnt the best way to make power gains... mainly for looks and a custom thing. TVS sounds like the way to go but from the sounds of it alot of members are blowing their engines with it, you need a lot of work done to support it and id probably still run it conservatively

you can install everything yourself but you have to have the dealership reflash your computer. they charge by the hour so its going to be over 100 bucks for them to reflash your computer. if you want your warranty to be good thats the way to go. if you dont have your warrenty you might be better off buying some injectors and looking into how much it would cost for someone to tune your car for you.
As for the shop towels ha ha thanks for reminding me JJ. I went with 60lb injectors and a 2.8" pulley. I drove down to El Paso to get my car tuned and supercharger ported out. lets just say done leave a shop towel inside the supercharger when you reinstall everything. its no bueno

it only took JJ me and stevo about 3 hours to get the rotors out of the housing. that F'ing thing was wedged in there like a SOB. didnt think it did anything after we got all the pieces of shop towel out. the car ran but later i found that when i was swapping superchargers about 6 bearings were broken inside the housing

It's all good! I see you all the time up in VR.
So I take you work at Kirtland? If so do you know a guy by the Name of Bryant Stock? I believe he does the same thing?
Yakko how is your car running? I read a thread saying you were having some issues.
nah that's only part time,
AF - aircraft fuel systems repair,
I'm sun burnt and tired spent a 12 hour shift outside in the sun, working on a CV-22 today I hate that aircraft, worse fuel system design I've worked on so far, seems like all I do lately is bitch about work, lol, I'm getting my own shift starting aug, which I don't really want to but I'm next in line sooo, I guess I'll have too step up

dvs is hard to forget!
Dvs, you get your car fixed, man? Mines sitting at chevy still. They wanted to look at it a bit more tomorrow morning. My poor Trifecta tune is still sitting here unused and unabused
Doesn't matter I guess. I can't drive all that well right now anyway. stuck wearing a wrist brace.
